Stopper, Blue Jays Wallop Miners in Game 3 of CS
The St. Catharines Blue Jays have closed some of the gap between themselves and the series-leading Glace Bay Miners, winning, 10-2, at Engineers Ballpark. Blue Jays second baseman Jesse Stopper went 4 for 4 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles, while scoring 3 times and driving in 2. The win cuts the deficit facing the Blue Jays to 2-1 in the best-of-7 League Championship Series.

St. Catharines shortstop John Russell delivered a 2-run home run in the bottom of the fourth. Overall, he went 3 for 4, picking up 1 home run, 1 single, and 1 double. He scored 1 run and knocked in 3.

"We're one game closer to our goal," St. Catharines manager Nate Cato said later. "It isn't any more complicated than that."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Engineers Ballpark in St. Catharines.
